Get ready, fans! Maryland rapper Rico Nasty is set to drop her highly anticipated fourth studio album, 'RX,' on July 24th. Alongside this exciting news, she's also unleashed a brand new single, 'Cupcake,' giving listeners a taste of what's to come. This project marks a significant reunion with her longtime collaborator, Kenneth Blume, famously known as Kenny Beats, who produced the entire record.
The chemistry between Rico Nasty and Blume is undeniable, and both artists have expressed their excitement about working together again. Rico shared her sentiment, saying, "I missed someone that was honest with me. And I missed someone who knew me back then, before I had any success." She emphasized the importance of returning to someone real and not "too serious or draining." Blume echoed this enthusiasm, reflecting on their dynamic: "From the day we met, no one has made me laugh harder or pushed me further out of my comfort zone." He sees 'RX' as a 'homecoming,' a project that reminds fans of Rico's origins while showcasing her continuous artistic growth.
The new single, 'Cupcake,' is an 'effervescent bop' that perfectly aligns with Rico's signature 'sugar trap' sound. Featuring whirling sonics and digital cascades crafted by Blume, the track feels like a pixelated adventure in Candy Land. Rico, known for her brash delivery, adopts a more coquettish and flippant approach here, even when throwing subtle shade with lines like, "She don’t got fans, she just got bots." The accompanying music video, directed by Miggy, is also available for fans to enjoy.
Rico Nasty and Kenneth Blume's collaborative journey dates back to their chaotic 2019 mixtape, 'Anger Management,' and continued with the aggressive track 'Smack a Bitch' on her 2020 debut album, 'Nightmare Vacation.' More recently, they've teased fans with tracks like 'PEPPER' and the addictive 'Rituals,' building immense anticipation for this full-length reunion. 'RX' promises to be a powerful addition to Rico Nasty's discography, showcasing her evolution while staying true to her roots.
